Top five reasons to cruise on the Queen Victoria

Sydney

Mark Twain called it “the wonder of the world”. James Michener wrote, “It is a thing of beauty, a fairy-tale body of water”. With an area that sprawls 670 square miles, Sydney is one of the largest cities in the world. But it's the exquisite Sydney Harbour that draws world-wide acclaim – that, along with its magnificent Opera House. And with nearly three days, you'll have plenty of time to go exploring.

Brisbane

Come face to face with koalas, kangaroos and wombats on tours from this laid-back city. Wander in botanical gardens and enjoy people-watching from a cafe on the Brisbane River.

Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a paradigm of contradictions. On the one hand the city vibrates with modern commerce, soaring skyscrapers and sophistication. But at the same time it is a land of ancient beliefs and intriguing local customs: small, gilded shrines glow with red lamps, joss sticks and fresh oranges; markets are heaped high with salted eggs, squid and every kind of medicinal root and herbal remedy imaginable; red-sailed junks and sampans ply the harbour. For shoppers, no city in the world can compare to this non-stop bazaar. And epicures will also find their nirvana. There are ethnic cuisines from all over China: Cantonese dim sum, crispy Peking duck and spicy Szechwan dishes.

Cunard

For over a century and a half, the iconic ships of Cunard have been defining sophisticated ocean travel. They have always been The Most Famous Ocean Liners in the World. From fabled vessels of the past to her present royal court — Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth — Cunard has carried guests across the great oceans and to the far points of the globe in unparalleled style. The most glamorous names of yesterday and today have made champagne toasts in her salons, waltzed the night away in her grand ballrooms, savoured grand feasts of the finest flavours in her dining rooms, and whiled away hours immersed in fascinating conversation on her decks. Cunard invites you to take your place in the rich heritage of ocean travel, and write your own classic adventure tale. Join Cunard for a journey on the legendary luxury ocean liner.

Dining

All Cunard onboard dining is in a la carte restaurants and arranged according to suite class. Deluxe Suite passengers eat in the most exclusive Queen's Grill, Junior Suite passengers have reserved seating in the Princess Grill and all other passengers are served in the Britannia Restaurant. Balcony category passengers can reserve seats in the Britannia Restaurant.

Crisp linens and fine tableware set the scene for the nightly Cunard gourmet dining experience. With dishes to rival those served in top restaurants, quality fresh ingredients are used in dishes that reflect local specialities and international cuisine. Breakfast and lunch are also served in the restaurants. Expect similarly robust menus with inventive dishes and popular favourites exquisitely prepared. The King's Grill offers gourmet buffet dining for all passengers in an informal setting.

Todd English, favoured celebrity chef to the stars, has a restaurant on board the Queen Victoria. Advance bookings are a must, and well worth it to experience English’s signature Mediterranean style cuisine with a delectable twist. The Queen Victoria also has a range of speciality restaurants and casual eateries, from a light meal at the Lido Restaurant to afternoon tea with cakes and sandwiches in the Queens Room. Speciality restaurants include a per-head cover charge.

The Rest

Complimentary 24 hour room service is available to all passengers. Tea, coffee, water and fruit juice is complimentary throughout all liners. Alcohol and speciality coffees and tea are charged to your ship account.

Cunard asks for notification about particular dietary requirements no later than 6 months before departure or at the time of booking, whichever comes first.

The dining and onboard dress code is resort casual during the day, though as a premium cruise line you can expect fellow passengers to be at the smart end of casual. During the evening it is recommended to dress as you would to dine in a fine restaurant.

Kids

A kid’s area can be found on board the Queen Victoria with a complimentary program of activities and entertainment is put on for cruisers aged 2 to 17 years. Children aged 6 months to 2 years are welcome in the nursery where they will be supervised with fully trained nurses. Children under 2 years old are permitted in the nursery as long as they are accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.

Young kids will love The Play Zone which is filled with toys, games and activities. Older kids and teens can also play video games and socialise with other cruisers with a range of thoughtfully prepared activities.

Babysitting

Group babysitting is available in the evenings free-of-charge, and supervised children-only dining is available every night so parents can enjoy a romantic meal or two on their holiday.
